MRBC aims to enable and encourage people to own, maintain, and ride bicycles safely.
We reclaim, refurbish, and redistribute used bicycles that would otherwise be heading for the landfill. We teach mechanics to youth and adults, and we partner with local DC area organizations to promote an inclusive and responsible bicycling community.
MRBC focuses its services locally but the shop and its programs are open to all members on a donation basis.

The MD Bike Symposium in Annapolis wass valued as a great meeting of mobilized cyclists and their resources.

One resource shared was the website www.seeclickfix.com It serves as a means for peds, riders, motorists..people, to record where and what is a problem on their route.Bikehoco.org organizers used this tool. Howard County then found it so efficient, that they used the data that users entered to take action on particular road problems.The county is said to now be developing a Howard County specific software application for smart phones.

So check out seeclickfix.com See what particular issues people have had with particular roads. And definitely share issues you have experienced!
